cOssel delta printer

[Reef Morse]

Hi.  I'm new to this group but I've helped the 6-8th graders in my school build a MendelMax 1.5+ (which works like a charm) and I'm in the process of gathering parts for a cOssel delta printer.

Does anyone in the group have experience with building a cOssel?  Particulary, I'm interested in which hot ends could be used.

I'll post progress to this thread.

Most of the Kossel variants are using jheads. They're cheap and
light, and can handle a variety of filament types. Lansing Makers
Network's had a really great experience with the magma hotend for
printing VERY fast with ABS, but it only does ABS.

If you get a j-head, buy it from hotends.com, or a reseller that gets
their stock from hotends. Some of the chinese versions on ebay are of
spotty quality.

LMN's got a Rostock, a Kossel Mini in the mail, and a Wolfstock under
construction. We've run into most of the problems you can run into :)
Calibration is particularly fun on delta machines. Ask away if you
run into any problems.

Thanks, Tim.  I would up getting the recommend hot ends from Maker Gear.  They are well-made.  I'm in the process of gathering the final materials so I will post here as things get going.

Always great to have another set of eyes on the project!
